PC-Simulation of an Optical Resonator

By J.Summhammer



An optical resonator, consisting of four mirrors, is fed with a gaussian photon wavepacket. At what exit does the photon appear with what probability? What does the wavepacket look like? How much of it gets stored in the resonator? This, and other quantities, are calculated as a function of adjustable physical parameters. The dynamical display shows how the wavepacket evolves in time at the various beam lines.
